In northwest Shanxi, in Cuigezhuang outside Taiyuan City, Xu Ruifeng and his party rested in Zuihonglou, the largest building in the village. The five tall horses in Zuihonglou are very eye-catching, which is very different from the farmers wrapped in cotton-padded jackets of all kinds around them.
"Master, we are too conspicuous."
The truth that all four treasures understood was told at the wine table. The old falcon smiled and stretched out a finger to point to the door: "It's enough to irritate the eyes."
Si Baozi turned to look at Xu Ruifeng: "Master, what do you mean, Master Yao?"
Before Lao Xu could speak, Lao Yaoying responded: "What do we do here?"
"Aren't you going to the new regiment to find Wang...the leader?"
The old harrier shook his head: "It is our Lao Xu who promised Captain Wang to report to the New Regiment after the new year. We did not come out because of this incident."
"During the time when you were in the rear area, these battles were fought. First, Shanghai was lost, and then Nanjing was lost. The loudspeaker in the chatterbox was crying every day. There was no good news around us. In November, Taiyuan was also lost. The entire
The battle in northwest Shanxi turned into a pot of porridge. That guy named Fu boasted about Haikou and wanted to live and die with the country, but he just packed up his bed after fighting for a few days?"
"Our old man, Xu, came out from the rear. He really couldn't listen to the chatter, so he came out to yell at the little devil."
"Then how are we going to look for it? We can't really rush into Taiyuan and fight with the Japs, right? Isn't that stupid? We, just walking through the city and walking through the mountains and forests like this, it's hard for the Japs army to find us Ying'er. If we find them, we will chase them.
We can’t catch up. If we can catch up, it’s all a small force. It’ll be a good time to relieve our anger.”
As the old harrier spoke, he looked at Xu Ruifeng and asked, "Is that okay?"
Xu Ruifeng nodded: "You decide."
Since the old eagle returned to Xu Ruifeng, he basically didn't have to use his brain. There was only one thing to do, and that was...
"Okay, let's celebrate the birthday of the traitor Cuigezhuang tonight."
Wang Ming asked: "Best birthday? Has he served birthday wine?"
Lao Yanqiang: "Yang Shou, what Lao Yao Ying means is that that boy will live to the end."
The banquet was finished quickly, and Old Yao Ying settled the bill. Even Xu Ruifeng didn't know how much money Old Yao had. Anyway, he could get it as long as these people needed it.
That night, they stayed at the only inn in Cuigezhuang. When they checked in, the old hawk called the young man to the backyard in a thief manner, threw him a silver dollar and said: "I have a good friend in the village.
I have to go take a look in the middle of the night, kid, don’t lock the door."
The young boy put the silver dollar in his pocket and laughed happily. He never asked about similar things, let alone received money.
In the middle of the night, Xu Ruifeng was the first to open his eyes from the bed, and then called up Sibaozi Wang Ming and others. They led the horses and left the inn, running all the way to the most luxurious courtyard in the village.
Manage the government.
This man named Guan is what the old hawk calls a big traitor. It is said that this guy was originally the watchman of Taiyuan City. After beating away the man named Fu in Little Japan, he was the first one to rush to the city gate and open it for the Japanese.
Only then did he get the official position of Cuigezhuang's land security guard. After getting this position, it only took him a month to force Cui Jiadong to death and occupy the ancestral home left by Cui Jiadong, who had been a prosperous businessman since the late Qing Dynasty.
From then on, he recruited scum from all walks of life, and soon gathered a large number of people, becoming the most famous gangster in the village.
"superior!"
Outside the courtyard, Si Baozi knelt down on one knee and said "up" to Wang Ming. Wang Ming took a few steps back, stepped on his leg and jumped up. Wang Ming indeed did not have any permission. With a sharp rope, he had to reach the wall and then put his feet up to climb over the wall. Xu Ruifeng didn't even need to guess Si Baozi's legs. He reached the wall with one jump and jumped up the wall.
Under the moonlight, Wang Ming and Xu Ruifeng stood on the wall, observing the situation in the courtyard, and happened to see a patrol with guns inspecting the backyard.
The two people quietly descended from the roof, opened the courtyard door, and waited for Lao Yaoying, Si Baozi, and Lao Yanqiang to come in. They rushed towards the backyard.
In the backyard, the lights flickered, and under the dim yellow oil lamp, two shadows moved slowly on the window.
"Yingying, do you think it was great for you to marry me?"
"I've already raised the betrothal gift to one hundred silver dollars, but your father won't let go even if you say nothing."
"Is it okay this time? Your father asked me to be handed over to the Japanese. Now I am enjoying the blessings in the military police. You have also become my third wife..."
Squeak.
Guan Ping was standing next to a tied-up woman with a red face and was about to reach out to touch it. The window suddenly opened and he wanted to turn his head to look. When he turned around, he only saw a sole with dog shit under it. He immediately printed it. on his face.
bump!
With just one kick, Guan Ping was kicked so hard that he fell to the ground, propped up on his elbows, and was hit on the head by a blunderbuss.
"How many people and how many guns do you have under your command?"
When he turned around, a big slap came down from the bed and touched the pillow cover directly to his head. He couldn't see anything anymore.
"You...you..."
"Stop talking nonsense and answer whatever I ask you!"
He passed the gun forward, and the gunpowder in the barrel fell straight up and down the bridge of his nose. The pungent smell choked him so much that he couldn't open his mouth for a long time.
Cough...cough...
He coughed several times before saying: "Twelve people, ten guns."
"With just a few people, how dare you be so arrogant in Cuigezhuang?"
Xu Ruifeng bypassed the people in the room, walked up to the tied woman and reached out to untie the rope behind her. When the rope was untied, the woman covered her wrists and hid behind, her sleeves fell down her arms. This woman's supposedly white and flawless forearms were covered with purple-green marks from being pinched and twisted.
Xu Ruifeng looked at him and asked: "Is this guy causing trouble to you?"
The woman lowered her head in extreme fear. She didn't say anything, but this action meant everything.
Xu Ruifeng turned around and glanced at Lao Yanqiang. Just as Lao Yanqiang was about to pull the trigger, Lao Yaoying quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute!"
He squatted down with a smile and asked, "Where is the money?"
…
In the early morning, when it was getting bright, a countryman who looked like a slave came over with his back bent, and when he got to the house, he shouted: "Master, it's time to get up." He shouted and said: "Master, there is something I need to tell you. Please read a few words. Our courtyard door was opened last night. I checked and found that no money or animals were lost at home..."
"master?"
"master?"
After shouting twice, he went over to knock on the door. As soon as his knuckles hit the door frame, the sound didn't make much noise, and the door opened...
When the door crack slowly opened, a person hanging on the beam was slowly swaying along with the cold wind blowing into the room from outside the door.
"ah!"
The servant in the house was so frightened that he squatted on the ground, moved back a few times with his hands and feet, and shouted in panic: "Killing!!!" This chapter has been completed!
